Chapter 51

The shopkeeper saw Yu Qingxian shake her head, so he didn't push the sale any further. Instead, he asked Yu Qingxian to give him her phone.

As for why Yu Qingxian didn't speak but typed to him, the shopkeeper didn't mind.

After all, people who couldn't speak, although rare in the apocalypse, did exist.

Anyone brave enough to come to a place like this alone couldn't be a good seed.

"It's not difficult to repair your phone, but how are you planning to pay?" the Man asked again.

But for repairing a phone, there were people who could do it at the Base too, so why bother coming to a place like this?

Hearing this, Yu Qingxian took out a box of fever-reducing medicine from her backpack and placed it on his counter.

The medicine box was completely sealed, which almost made the Man's eyes pop out at the sight of it.

One must know that even superhumans at the Base wouldn't give out whole boxes of medicine.

One must know that there weren't many medicines available on the market these days.

Although the officials were urgently dealing with this situation, all plants and water had been polluted after the apocalypse.

To produce new medicines, obtaining medicinal herbs was the most difficult part.

And the medicines that could be obtained had already been taken by the superhuman teams and officials.

Some major city hospitals were indeed inaccessible.

So for Yu Qingxian to take out a whole box of fever-reducing medicine was undoubtedly like placing a pound of gold on someone's table in the pre-apocalyptic era.

The Man immediately took the medicine, then said, "Rest assured, I'll guarantee that I'll repair your phone and modify it to adapt to the current magnetic field, so it can last at least five to ten years."

Although Yu Qingxian didn't believe the Man's words, she didn't refute them either.

Seeing that Yu Qingxian didn't speak, the Man took her silence as consent.

He even offered her a stool to sit on.

Yu Qingxian sat down as well.

As for whether people around were looking at her, she didn't know.

This fisherman's hat was truly useful.

Not only could it shield the upper half of her face, but it could also block others' line of sight.

Yu Qingxian sat on the chair and took out a book from her luggage to read.

According to the owner, repairing the phone would take an hour or two.

As long as she sat down, she became inconspicuous instantly.

"I really don't know about you, the note was properly tucked in your pocket, yet it fell out."

"How would I know? It's indeed my fault, otherwise we wouldn't have been delayed for these few days." Another voice immediately responded with a hint of apology.

No matter how the owner called after her, she pretended not to hear.

This successful disguise let Yu Qingxian breathe a sigh of relief.

But it didn't mean that if she succeeded this time, she would succeed the next time too.

Yu Qingxian had a feeling that her success this time had already used up a lifetime's worth of luck.

Yu Qingxian sat on her luggage and headed north.

By now, she had confirmed the locations of the official Bases, and this map had indeed made things much more convenient for her.

At least she wouldn't be completely in the dark.

Yu Qingxian put the map into her backpack and opened her phone.

It was filled with messages and various photos sent by her parents, who really enjoyed traveling.

Of course, it was because she disliked going out, so they would go traveling and take all kinds of scenery photos to show her.

Looking at the photos of her parents, Yu Qingxian was stunned.

Her parents had indeed shown her scenery photos from many places.

But at that time, she had never actually looked at the scenery photos taken by her parents, and her attention was mostly focused on her parents themselves. She rarely actively asked them what they had seen that day.

Yu Qingxian looked at the last photo sent by her parents, which was taken in the early hours of the day they got into a car accident.

They had sent her a message saying they were going to watch the country's earliest sunrise.

After that, there were no more messages.

She didn't even receive a call at the first opportunity that day.

Yu Qingxian was someone who wouldn't answer anyone's calls except her parents'.

In fact, most of the time, her parents wouldn't call her either, knowing that she wouldn't pick up.

So it wasn't until the police came to her door that she learned of her parents' passing.

At that time, there were several missed calls on her phone from unknown numbers.

But for some reason, when she learned of her parents' death, she didn't feel much sadness.

She even felt a sense of relief.

After all, her reason for living was solely because of her loving parents.

She had loving parents, and her family conditions were decent.

But for some reason, she still fell ill.

Yu Qingxian didn't have any unpleasant past or dark memories.

But she simply didn't want to live anymore.
